Hip-Hop Artist T.I.

Edmond Ross, who is a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson explained that it is not a rarity for inmates to serve the last part of their sentence in a halfway house in order to help them ease their way back into life outside of prison.

If T.I. gets cut a break he’s still not quite done making up for his mistakes.  His March 2008 plea deal included the following stipulations:

• 1,500 hours of community service speaking to at-risk youth
• $100,000 fine
• A year of house arrest after prison
• 2 years probation

T.I. was arrested at the end of the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards.  He was attempting to acquire silencers and machine guns from his bodyguard who had made purchases from undercover officers.
